Hardon married Malissa Byram. Children I have listed are: William (Willie) who married Rosa Sayer Lavena who married Ed Pond Edna who married Joe ? Mary Alice who married 2) Everett Gee Merlin who married Vera Perkins Hardon and Malissa lived in Bristo, Oklahoma, where they are buried. (Sorry, I don't know what cemetery.) As for Charles Stevens--I have only a Charlie Stephens, b. February 1879/80. I think he would be too young to be the Charles Stephens you mentioned. I'll give you the brief information anyway. George W. Stephens and Elizabeth Indiana "Annie" Warren(s), married 1878 in Livingston County, Missouri. Their children: Charlie, Lizzie (married Pete Buchanan), Ethel (married Joe Kirby), Earl (married Mamie Newton), Ed, and Calvin. (Calvin & Charlie may be the same person.) At least some of these children came to California. I met some of their descendants when they were living in Lodi, California, in the 1970s. If anyone out there has a Grundy/Livingston/Daviess County Missouri connection to Warren/Warrens/Warnes and/or Stephens/Stevens -- I would like to hear from you! I'm looking for Zachariah Warrens and wife Elizabeth--parents of my great grandfather Calvin Taylor Warrens/Warnes (descendants go by Warnes). Janet j.r.lamb@attbi.com

I am following up on the Bunker Line and came across the marriage info of Antone Ridgely Munn & Eliza Anna Bunker. I have lots of Bunker info but thought I would check out the Munn line also. The Bethel Cemetery site, Grundy Co. MO has a group of Munns including Eliza Anna. It appears that Antone's parents were John Munn & Susan Nichols. Can you confirm that or the relationships of others listed there. What info on Eliza would you like? Bob

Debbie, Janet, Chuck and other interested parties: Thanks for your generous responses. MORE QUESTIONS/INFORMATION: DEBBIE--1) How was Charles Allen Harris related to Alice Evelynn Harris who married John Hobbs, son of Zachariah and Mary McCammon Hobbs? 2) As to Indian heritage--I know only that Martin Ludwig Hartman came to this country from Bavaria, Germany, Rhine Free Canton Birgzabein. His grandson, Jacob Wm Hartman b. 24 Jul 1814 migrated to this country in 1839 (m. Mary Alice SPEARS Hartman 2 Sept 1841). I can't speak for the SPEARS/HOBBS/HARRIS line. JANET--1) Was Harden Harris a son of Greenberry and Clarissa Weldon Harris? He married Melissa BYRAM who was a sister to my g-grandmother, Alice Caroline BYRAM. Do you have more info on Harden and Melissa Byram Harris? I have only that they were m. 4 Apr 1875 and childrens' names (no dates except for William Lewis Haris b. 10 May 1876 and Clarissa Lovena b. 19 Aug 1878; other children included Mary Alice, Edna, Marilyn/possibly more): 2) Melissa Byram HARRIS and Mary Missouri HARTMAN HOBBS were half sisters (Melissa's father was Lewis BYRAM). CHUCK--1) Thanks for the info on the GIBSON/HOBBS line! 2) What do you have on Charles STEVENS who m. Nancy BYRAM (my g-grandmother Alice Caroline Byram's sister)? IN GENERAL: I have dates on sons of Zachariah and Mary McCammon sons: John b. 12-5-1864; William b. 4-17-1866 d. 7-31-1868; Norris b. 1-15-1867 d. 12-5-1868 Anybody out there have info on LEWIS BYRAM b. Ky ca 1820's d. 1862 wounds received at Battle of Shiloh; died at Macon Prison

I notice on one of the recent postings that Harden Harris (son of Greenberry and Claressa Weldon Harris) m. Melissa Byram. I am willing to share what I have on these family lines. I am particularly interested in finding out more about Melissa Byram's parents. Her mother was Mary Alice Spears Hartman. She was born to Mary Alice and her 2nd husband, Lewis BYRAM. So far I have been unable to trace the ancestry of Lewis BYRAM. His youngest daughter was a sister to Melissa Byram Harris and my g-grandmother whose name was Alice Caroline Byram (m.Marcus Lafayette Criswell). I can be reached at rlaydelott@earthlink.net. In hopeful anticipation, Lela Aydelott

I notice a lot of activity on the board lately with respect to Hartman/Hobbs/Harris ancestry. I am looking for and willing to share what info I have if you will address me at rlaydelott@earthlink.net. Briefly my heritage follows the Mary Alice Spears (Speers) Hartman (m. Jacob Wm. Hartman 9-2-1841) and her subsequent marriage to Lewis Byram (12-1-1852) . My g-grandmother, Alice Caroline Byram (m. Marcus Lafayette Criswell 10-9-1881). Alice Caroline was the youngest of six children born to Mary Alice Hartman Byram and her second husband, Lewis Byram. Lewis enlisted as a Confederate soldier and died of wounds in Macon prison (taken prisoner at the battle of Shiloh). I have been unable to trace his ancestry and would be so eager to hear from any of you on the BYRAM line. I also notice by one of the recent postings that Harden Harris m. Melissa Byram. I have very little information on Harden Harris other than the names of their four children: Willie, Mary Alice, Edna, Marilyn. Melissa Byram was a sister to my g-grandmother, Alice Caroline Byram. Eager to hear from you all, Lela Aydelott Eugene, Oregon

There were hardly any obits at all in the papers of that time. I went to familysearch.org, the Mormon sheet, and found that Ed Elkins, age 22, and Wesley Elkins, age 25, were enumerated in Franklin township in 1880, the same as Emily and Henry. The parent birthplaces were all the same and Emily would have only been 33 that year. There was probably a connection. Virginia seems a hard place to research, but you might find something there. I didn't check the marriage records for Grundy, but don't know what they list. I am stuck on the generation of my family that came here from Virginia and the family geneaologist is too. We think we are looking for brother's parents, but he can't find them in 40,000 names or war records.
